While Janessa slept, she mumbled in her sleep.
"Protect me." Though she wasn't awake, the amulet heard the command and followed it, waking Janessa with another transformation. As Janessa woke, she realized not only was her body different, but the amulet had removed Antyny's spell. Her mind was finally clear. For the first time in months, she didn't long for sex with Antyny.
Janessa got off the bed and walked to the mirror to inspect her new form. She had shrunk, becoming much shorter than average, and her uniform had transformed to that of a nursemaid working in the Royal Nursery. Of her facial features, only her large gray eyes were the same. She could no longer be described as beautiful, but she was certainly pretty. Her pale skin had freckles and her red hair was now dark brown. Her figure was still quite shapely, but not as perfect as it had been. As Janessa turned to the side, she realized to her horror that she had a baby bump. She was pregnant.
She suddenly knew, with such certainly that the information had to have come from the amulet, that Antyny had impregnated her, and the transformation sped the pregnancy to fit her new disguise. Janessa shook away her dread and focused on her next step. Antyny would notice his favorite concubine missing. She had to find a replacement. Maybe the amulet could do it? She snuck out of the harem quarters, past the sleeping Borya and Francesca. To her surprise, the harem guard on duty, a gross man who constantly leered at the concubines, was fast asleep. He would be the perfect replacement. If it worked.
Janessa touched the amulet and thought hard about what she wanted it to do. She whispered the command. There was a flash of light. When the light cleared, the guard had been transformed into a woman identical to Janessa the concubine. Janessa dragged her replacement into the harem and closed the door. Once the former guard got a taste of sex with Antyny, she would be just fine with her new job.
Janessa silently made her way through the palace, she would prefer to leave now, but knew she couldn't escape. The capital was locked down until Prince Jasper was found. Her best option was to blend in with the other nursemaids and claim she was just hired. That would give her time to regroup. And give birth.
Janessa snuck into the Royal Nursery, then into the attached sleeping quarters for the staff. The Royal Nursery was currently understaffed, so Janessa had plenty of beds to choose from. Janessa laid down in a bed and closed her eyes, trying to not think about the fact she was pregnant and had no idea how pregnant she was.
In the morning, Janessa would discover she was in...
